Golf with locals Jose and Fernando at the Baevaria Golf Course.
While I was at the golf course, Tess went to the Saturday farmers market which was held on the harbor right across our condo. She had a such a good time and was very pleased at how inexpensive things were.
Tess's treasure-trove from the trinket store.
Later in the evening after our pm siesta, as has now become tradition with me and Tess when we're on vacation, we went to see a movie - Jason Bourne. You might think it's easy to go see a movie in a foreign country but not quite. We learned the hard way but you don't have to. You need to make sure the version you want to see is in English (or the original version from where the movie was produced). Here in Spain they're labeled VOSE (Version Orihinal Subtitulada Español). They are subtitled in Spanish and there is one minor nuance about that - the locals react to the scenes, i.e., laughter, a second after you do.
Big crowd at the Saturday morning Caleta de Velez farmers market.

Las cinemas en Torre del Mar con dose salas.
A funny story on the way to the cinema. When we got to the mall I asked a white gentleman, "¿Perdon, señor, donde esta la cinema?" The prick ignored me! I told Tess, "Wow, that was a first!" All Spaniards we've encountered so far were very friendly and always went out of their way to assist. Later on, that same guy was ahead of us in line for the movie tickets. It turned out, overhearing him, that he was a Brit! I felt better.
To cap the night off, we got home and there was an air show right at the cove! (English for caleta). We watched a solo fighter jet doing tight spins, rolls, vertical climbs, and pass-bys right in front of our condo! At one point it shot out flares; we've seen the USAF Thunderbirds and the US Navy Blue Angels perform many times but we never saw them shoot flares. Impressive! Here's the video I took. A must-watch.
